BOOKING REQUIRED – Dates and Times TBC very soon!
This course is for young beginners (aged 4-12) who cannot yet pedal without help.
Learning to ride a bike is an achievement that will help build confidence and a natural sense of adventure. Cycling is a great way to move more and get active whilst reducing transport costs and environmental impact. If you’re keen to enjoy cycling as a family and get active then we are here to help.
- This session is for complete beginners who want to learn to ride a bike for the first time.
- The sessions start promptly. You will need to meet your instructor at the Hub on the Green
- Each session is 1 hour long.
Our aim is to get participants pedaling without assistance and to experience the fun and enjoyment of moving on two wheels.
We are working in partnership with ‘Friends of Bournville Park’ who have secured funding to provide FREE summer cycling sessions. In this session children will learn the following skills: (subject to timing and current ability)
- understanding safety equipment and clothing, including helmet
- carry out a simple bike check
- get on and off the bike without help
- pedal without help and stop without help
Each participant will need a bike to take part in this course. We do not recommend the use of stabilisers for children as they are not the best way to help the child to learn the necessary skills and we request that children wear a helmet. Please bring your own bike and helmet, however, if needed please let us know when booking so we can arrange for you to borrow one. Please contact us with the age (if under 12) and height of the rider borrowing a bike so we can make sure we have something suitable.
This class is for children who want to learn to ride a bike for the first time. Children learn differently and some take longer than others. You may need to attend more than one session to complete the whole course.
*Children must be accompanied by an adult
